Manchester City

Kolo Touré has said he would "love it" if Carlos Tevez could score the goal for Manchester City that won the club a first league title since 1968. Tevez could well feature for the club in the crucial match with Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday for the first time since late September following his fall-out with Roberto Mancini for refusing to warm up during a Champions League game at Bayern Munich. But despite Tevez's differences with City Touré said: "It would be great if he could play against Chelsea because he's got a great record against Chelsea. I would love it if he scored the goal to win us the title because for me he's a great player." A problem can happen, but his quality is still there." Jamie Jackson

After a "good meeting" with the Brazilian president, Dilma Rousseff, Blatter also said he will deal with the problem involving the Brazilian government and Fifa's secretary general, Jérôme Valcke, who made harsh remarks over Brazil's slow preparations for the tournament, starting a row between the host country and Fifa.
